How to send your Apple TV to Apple using Express Replacement Service from the Asia-Pacific region

Find out how to send your Apple TV back to Apple after you’ve received a replacement.

Important: Make sure you return your product so that Apple receives it within 10 days of the day your replacement product was sent to you by Apple (check your dispatch date). If Apple doesn’t receive your original product within 10 days, or if Apple technicians find that your original product is ineligible for service or for any reason not covered by an active AppleCare+ plan, you’ll be charged the full value of the replacement product. For more details, see Beats Express Replacement Service, ERS terms and conditions for service covered by Apple’s Limited Warranty or an AppleCare plan or ERS terms and conditions for out-of-warranty service.
